Competing in the Rotax Mini Inter Class, up against 37 other drivers, The Synergy Kart driver worked hard on Saturday. Competing in two out of the three heats, Lines won in heat one and finished in third place in heat two.

The points scored from this put Lines in second place in the Intermediate Classification. This meant he would start from pole position in the second of the two Super Heats.

The Maximum Motorsport driver made good use of his pole position, staying out front to take the win in the second Super Heat and put himself on the front row for the Super Final.
